Klaus Rifbjerg's 1958 novel has become a constantly reprinted
classic of twentieth-century Danish literature. It is the story of
the unequal friendship between two teenagers, Janus and Tore, told
from the point of view and in the schoolboy slang of the
hero-worshipping Janus. Tore is a gifted student, mature beyond his
years, effortlessly able to impress teachers and fellow pupils
alike with his knowledge and charm. It is a foregone conclusion
that he will fall in love at the school dance with the equally
peerless Helle, and she with him; together they are the school's
golden couple. It seems they will achieve a perfect union; but
there is a snake in Paradise in the form of Helle's mother, fru
Junkersen. Janus watches helplessly as the golden dream turns into
a nightmare which destroys the two young lives, and he realises his
own complicity in perpetuating an unsustainable myth. Rifbjerg has
been a central figure in Danish literary life - as novelist, poet,
playwright and cultural commentator - for the last sixty years,
publishing works at an astonishing rate, around 175 in all. This
novel, which was his first, is generally acknowledged to be his
masterpiece.
